Abstract
Systems, method and apparatus for a fixturing platform having a frame assembly configured to couple to a support assembly with a plurality of surface plates configured to couple to the frame assembly in a number of configurations are described in this disclosure. The configurations include a continuous configuration with abutting surface plates forming a continuous working surface and a spaced configuration with spaced surface plates forming a spaced working surface, the spaced configuration have one or more working gaps between surface plates.
Claims15
An extensible frame, comprising:
- a plurality of support assemblies each comprising an arm and a bearing coupled to the arm;
- a center frame member extending between and connecting the support assemblies, the center frame member received into mating receptacles of the support assemblies to allow adjustment of the spacing between the support assemblies;
- and
- a mounting assembly comprising a plurality of elongated mounting frames coupled to the bearings of the arms, the plurality of elongated mounting frames affixed to a respective plurality of mounting brackets configured to be secured to a fixturing platform and to the plurality of elongated mounting frames in the extensible frame for rotation of the fixturing platform about an axis, wherein the plurality of elongated mounting frames are configured to remain secured to the mounting assembly when the fixturing platform is unsecured from the plurality of mounting brackets.
